Hello there, @Joyful2. Great to see you here in the Community!

Let me share some details about the categories in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). The option to add a category in QBSE is unavailable since it is designed for matching your income and expenses easily to your Schedule C also known as Form 1040.

You can use the Utilities or Phone category to split the expenses from the internet.

To know more details about tracking your income and expenses correctly, you can check out this article: Schedule C and expense categories in QuickBooks Self-Employed. This contains a table of categories and how it appears on your report.

Please don't hesitate to comment below if you have other questions. I'd be happy to assist you further. Take care!
